Grilling In Cooking
Chamber
Step 1
Remove cooking grills from cooking cham ber and set aside. Place charcoal
grate assembly to lowest level of cooking chamber.
Step 2
Place a tin can on the grease cup holder. A tin can must be placed under
the grease hole at all times.
Step 3
Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use charcoal
and/or wood as fuel in the Mini Offset Smoker and Grill (see "Adding
Charcoal/Wood During Cooking" section of this manual).
NOTE: We recommend using charcoal that has been pre-treated with
lighter fluid or a charcoal chimney starter.
WARNING: DO NOT store lighter fluid or other flammable liquids, material
or charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid under or
around the grill.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer's warn ings and
instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 5.5 pounds of hot
coals on charcoal grate.
Step 4
With lids open, stand back and carefully light charcoal and allow to burn
until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 minutes). When charcoal
is burning strong, carefully place hot coals in center of cooking chamber
charcoal grate.
WARNING: DO NOT use grill without charcoal ash tray in place. DO NOT
attempt to remove charcoal ash tray while tray contains hot coals.
NOTE: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood
do not touch the walls of grill.
IF USING CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 8
If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use charcoal light ing
fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol
or other flammable material for lighting charcoal. Follow all manufacturer's
warnings and instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with
5.5 pounds of charcoal. Place the charcoal in center of cooking chamber
charcoal grate.
Step 5
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. With lid open wait 2 to 3 minutes to
allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely
away from the grill.
Step 6
Open the firebox air shutter approximately 1" to 2" and smokestack damper
half way. Stand back and carefully light charcoal. With firebox and cooking
chamber lid open, allow charcoal to burn until covered with a light ash
(ap prox i mate ly 20 minutes).
WARNING: Charcoal light ing fluid must be allowed to com plete ly burn off
prior to closing grill lids and door (approximately 20 minutes).
Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in
grill and may result in a flash-fire or explosion when lid is opened.
